    Should have taken other people's advice and not watched this episode. hide show

    What a disgrace of an episode if you can even call it that. This must be what the creator of this story was thinking "Let's make some lame offensive fat jokes, mock Elvis, and make an absurd pee pee joke they'll all love it.". Why did they have to bring down the quality of Naruto by airing junk like this? Please no more episodes like this, they come off as lame and immature. Naruto use to be better than this. Mocking dead people does not equally funny. Making fun of overweight people is just a cheap shot. Try making some original jokes.

    I think that this was another funny episode. hide show

    Well first off Naruto and Ino must go and help out a princess that became fat and she must loose weight. When Ino takes her place they find out that her true love is also over weight and Ino goes crazy at some points of it which was really funny. Next Naruto transforms into the princess and does really weird and disgusting things. I also think this was a really funny episode and it really needs to get a perfect 10 out of 10. The chubby guy was almost like Choji and he sounded like he was from Texas which was really cool and everyone lives happily ever. Silly episode.

    Ino meets Elvis hide show

    Even more hillarious than the Laughing Shino Arc, here it is, Chubby Paradise!!! OK, so Tsunade hooks Ino and Naruto up with a mission. Ino has to be a stand in for a at princess that looks exactly like Ino, save for the weight thing, of course. Well, of course since Naruto is on the mission, the whole thing snowballs. No what? No ammount of words I have could describe this. You'll just have to watch it for yourself. But I will tell you that there is an Elvis impersonater that is like triple Choji's weight, and my favorite part is when Naruto pees on the roof!!! XD

    Naruto and Ino go on a mission where Ino is to be a body double. hide show

    Lady Tsunade gives Ino a mission and tells her that she is to be a body double for a princess. Naruto is going with her because he is the only available one, much to Ino's dismay. They meet the princess and find out why she wanted Ino as a body double. The princess became so nervous about meeting her future husband that she started to eat a lot and became overweight. She asks that Ino go in her place to meet her future groom. Ino goes with Naruto to meet the guy. He comes in with a lot of fanfare and Ino...

    I died inside when I watched this. hide show

    Although the idea of the Japanese claming Americans as "Elvis-Pressley wannabees" makes me laugh... that still just adds this episode to the top 50 list of "Worst episodes in Anime" in my book.

    First of all, that whole Naruto peeing off the roof was retarded. I really don't watch Naruto to look at this crap.
    Also even for a filler, this made me hate Ino even more for her hatred and steriotyped views of fat people. Unless you want to end up screaming wtf!? after watching this, I do not recommend you to watch this episode. Describing it in two words to end this review:

    Epic Fail.

  • Ino: You pervert! Clearly you would never make it as the main character in a shonen comic.

    This quote is probably a reference to the fact that the Naruto series is a shonen manga running in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan and Shonen Jump in America. []
  • During the ending theme, Pakkun's facial expression and wave of his paw in a "Tsk tsk" fashion is similar to Xellos' from Slayers when he does his "That is a secret!" catchphrase. []
  • Chikara's entrance with a cape and white suit bares a resemblance to the performances of Elvis Presley in the latter stages of his career. []
